ChocolateBar Broker Display
ChocolateBar will create a bar on top or bottom of your screen where other addons called broker plugins can display stuff like your fps.
Main Features
- Easy setup, install & go!
- Multiple bars - top or bottom as many as you want.
- Left, right and center alignment.
- Support for icon colors and coordinates like used by TomTom.
- Easy config, simply drag a plugin and drop points will show. The idea is to easily disable a plugin or toggle its text. See pics.
- Load-on-demand options, and small memory footprint.
- More Chocolate - a broker plugin to show a bar that will autohide again. Great for launchers or other plugins you don't need visible all the time:)
Options for:
- Show bars on mouse over only.
- Hide bars in combat.
- Hide bars during a pet battle.
- Set a fixed width for any plugin.
- Change textures, font, colors and a lot more...

In reply to MrsAngelD:
yeah i made this pullrequest. i will try to keep the fork working, until the original addon gets an update.
you could also download the addon release directly if you are to lazy to do changes yourself ;)

In reply to agentschmitt:
Thanks for doing the work, honestly I'm not a coder. I can read other peoples work and understand it and I can easily make changes when I need to as long as I have instructions, but I can't actually write anything myself..lol. So thank you for at least providing some fixes to the problem ;).
In reply to MrsAngelD:
ChocolateBar\DropPoints.lua:58: '<eof>' expected near 'end'
also bars are not movable
In reply to I_hate_you_:
You should check the edits, and make sure you did them properly, or you could download the zip file provided by agentschmitt in the comment above. It was him who provided the edit, so his zip file should work.
In reply to MrsAngelD:

Thank you!
I just re-installed a fresh copy of WoW and downloaded Chocolate Bar. I see the name in the Interface but /chocolatebar doesn't work when I type it into chat. I opened the chocolatebar.lua file and all I see is 19 lines of text. I have re-installed multiple time with no luck.

" /chocolatebar doesn't work when I type it into chat"
When I try that it will not even accept my "Enter/Return".
In reply to nToxik:
That is the settings file under the WTF folder.
You need to make the changes in the Interface\AddOns\ChocolateBar folder.
In reply to Forge_User_95714556:
Thanks! That worked!

Thanks, this works!
In reply to pojiet:
Mouseovers on LDB items don't seem to work. Does something else need to be changed also?
Edit: Correction, you can't drag to rearrange items inside the bar. Once you try to drag them, THEN mouseovers break until you /reloadui.
In reply to Carnitaas:
See my reply here for a manual fix https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/chocolatebar?comment=458
In reply to pojiet:
No, doesn't work at all. Can it be hardware dependent? Motherboard, cpu, graphic card (I have no clue). Or Windows version or....
In reply to pojiet:
this fix did not fix chocolatebar.
I did do the fix for Bazooka and that fix worked but not this one.
